Yes, in most circumstances.

In the browser then no. On the server you can execute applications if the configurations allow it. You would need to use a plug-in or Java for that.

Hai,
i want to open a wordpad, using the PHP.
If i tried this code,

<?php

// Some servers may have an auto timeout, so take as long as you want.
set_time_limit(0);

// Show all errors, warnings and notices whilst developing.
error_reporting(E_ALL);

// Used as a placeholder in certain COM functions where no parameter is required.
$empty = new VARIANT();

// Load the appropriate type library.
com_load_typelib('Word.Application');

// Create an object to use.
$word = new COM('word.application') or die('Unable to load Word');

print "Loaded Word, version {$word->Version}\n";

// Open a new document with bookmarks of YourName and YourAge.
$word->Documents->Open('C:/web/Sundance/Delivery Notes/Delivery_Template.doc');

?>

I am getting the error message,

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'com_exception' with message 'Failed to create COM object `word.application': Access is denied. ' in D:\DocStation\testing_MIME\11.php:79 Stack trace: #0 D:\DocStation\testing_MIME\11.php(79): com->com('word.applicatio...') #1 {main} thrown in D:\DocStation\testing_MIME\11.php on line 79

Can anyone give me as suggesstion to solve this issue?

Regards,
Jasmine

You may also want to edit your existing posts so that other users can better read your code.

i didnt understand? What u are expecting?

using my Php code, i want to open a word application.
That is, if i execute, this program, MsWord application, should open automatically.

This is my Php code

<?php
set_time_limit(0);
error_reporting(E_ALL);
$empty = new VARIANT();
com_load_typelib('Word.Application');
$word = new COM('word.application') or die('Unable to load Word');
print "Loaded Word, version {$word->Version}\n";
$word->Documents->Open('C:/web/Sundance/Delivery Notes/Delivery_Template.doc');

?>

This is my another example, to open the Notepad.

<?php
$WshShell = new COM("WScript.Shell");
$oExec = $WshShell->Run("notepad.exe", 7, false);

?>

There is a Code button you press when you want to post your PHP code. You then put your code inside of the tags. Once you have finished, change [ code ] to [ code=php ]. It will then look like this:

Code: Select all

 
<?php
print 'test';
set_time_limit(0);
error_reporting(E_ALL);
$empty = new VARIANT();
com_load_typelib('Word.Application');
$word = new COM('word.application') or die('Unable to load Word');
print "Loaded Word, version {$word->Version}\n";
$word->Documents->Open('C:/web/Sundance/Delivery Notes/Delivery_Template.doc');
?>

hai tasairis,

I just go through, which you gave reference.

i tried one example,

Code: Select all

  <?php
// outputs the username that owns the running php/httpd process
// (on a system with the "whoami" executable in the path)
   echo exec('whoami');
?>
 

I am getting the error message,

Warning: exec() [function.exec]: Unable to fork [whoami]
